Jean-Daniel Akpa Akpro will leave Lazio in January to join Serie A club Monza, marking a significant shift in his career.

The 32-year-old Ivorian midfielder, who has struggled for regular playing time at Lazio, is set to reignite his football journey with the Brianza club, where he previously played and impressed.

Akpa Akpro, whose contract with Lazio expires in June 2024, will make a return to Monza, having previously featured for the club during the 2022-2023 season.

In his previous stint, the midfielder made 19 Serie A appearances, demonstrating his capability to contribute to the team’s midfield and prove his worth in Italy’s top division.

However, following a difficult summer at Lazio, where Akpa Akpro found himself sidelined, the midfielder will look to relaunch his career in a familiar environment.

His move to Monza is expected to be a permanent transfer, with Akpa Akpro set to initially sign a six-month contract until the end of the current season.

This deal will give both the player and the club the opportunity to assess the situation before deciding on any potential future commitments, based on the club’s performance and league status.

Monza, which is working to strengthen its squad, sees Akpa Akpro’s versatility and experience as valuable assets.

His previous spell at the club showed that he can play a significant role in the rotation of the team, and his ability to adapt to various positions in the midfield will be an important factor for Monza’s tactical plans.

If Monza manages to secure their Serie A status this season, it is likely that they will look to extend the Ivorian’s stay.

For Akpa Akpro, this move represents an opportunity to reclaim his form and make a meaningful impact at a club where he is already familiar with the setup.

As the transfer window opens, Akpa Akpro will hope this change of scenery will reinvigorate his career, with Monza aiming to benefit from his experience and contribute to their efforts to remain in Italy’s top league.
